2004 Asian Tsunami
Disaster reminded the world that
- Majority of world lives in low-lying coastal areas
- Impact of storm surges expected to worsen as a result of sea level rise (global warming)
- This sea level rise is global so will affect many countries (expect higher erosion rates and higher flood risk)
- Settlement and development in coastal areas will make this more serious and challenging
